North Central Kansas | Same spreader here, same issue last fall. Mine was coming out of the field. The hitch pin popped out as too much weight on back end. I was lucky that one safety chain held, all damage I had was the tongue busted my back tractor window.
1. by my drawbar I have holes for bolts if I want to let the drawbar swing either way. I put in a grade 8 - 3/4" bolt to hook that hook around.
2. I looped a chain around that same area and put a hook on each side of the safety chain, then wire or zip tie it so the stalks don't unhook it.
3. I went up in the bed of the spreader. Measured of first 1/3 of the unit closed to the cab. put in a filler if you would to reduce that opening from 4" (guessing) to 1/2". Thus it makes it take the material from the back end first. Does it work? Yes. On level ground it came about just about even. I looked in the spreader and there was a small hump in front and back, very even looking.
I have photos of all of the above as I described. This is the one BIG fault of the single axle units. They feed from the front, thus making them ask heavy! | |
